D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Stream enhancement and restoration will involve the relocation and stabilization of impaired aquatic resources. The work will involve the use of
natural channel design and have an overall positive impact. Stream impacts will be avoided and minimized to project reaches that exhibit less
instability and incision. These reaches are generally proposed for enhancement will primarily involve riparian buffer improvement, cattle
exclusion, and localized bank stabilization. Stream alignments for restoration reaches were designed to avoid existing wetland as much as
possible and avoid grading impacts. Unavoidable impacts to wetlands are due to floodplain grading. The project will likely result in a net increase
in wetland area as a result of raising stream beds and local water tables.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Restoration will involve construction of offline channel sections which will minimize sedimentation to aquatic systems during construction. Newly
constructed channel banks will be stabilized using biodegradable coir fiber matting and seeded and planted with native riparian species.
Temporary construction crossings will be minimized. Construction practices will follow guidelines from the NC Erosion and Sediment Control
Planning and Design Manual.

® Yes ❑ No
impacts?
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.
❑ Raleigh ® Asheville
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
Utilized the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) database in order to identify federally listed Threatened and Endangered plant and animal
species for Surry County, NC. Endangered species include the Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), the small whorled pogonia
(lsotria medeoloides), Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), and the bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii). A pedestrian survey was
conducted on September 14, 2017 which indicated the site provides suitable habitat for the small whorled pogonia, Schweinitz's sunflower, and
summer roosting habitat for the Northern long-eared bat but no species were identified on the site. Therefore, due to the absence of the listed
species on the site, the project has been determined by Wildlands to have "no effect" on the Schweinitz's sunflower and small whorled pogonia
and is "may effect" on the Northern long-eared bat.
Review and comment from the USFWS was requested on July 24, 2017 as part of the Categorical Exclusion for the Key Mill Mitigation Site and
its potential impacts on threatened or endangered species. Included in this request was a completed NLEB 4(d) Rule Streamlined Consultation
form. USFWS did not respond during 30 -day timeframe. All correspondence is included in Appendix 5 of the mitigation plan.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat?
❑ Yes ® No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
The NCWRC and USFWS were contacted for comment related to fish and wildlife issues associated with the proposed stream mitigation project.
NCWRC responded on August 11, 2017 and stated the project would "not impact wild trout resources or other known significant aquatic
resources". USFWS has not responded at this time. All agency correspondence is included in Appendix 5 of the mitigation plan.
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation
❑ Yes ® No
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
The Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) were contacted for comment with respect to any archeological and architectural resources related to
the Key Mill Mitigation Site on July 24, 2017. SHPO responded on August 10, 2017 and stated they were aware of "no historic resources which
would be affected by the project" and would have no further comment. All correspondence is included in Appendix 5 of the mitigation plan.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA -designated 100 -year floodplain?
❑ Yes ® No
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements:
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?

Re: NCIRT Review and USACE Approval of the Key Mill Mitigation Plan; SAW -2017-01504;
NCDMS Project # 100025
Mr. Tim Baumgartner
North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program
1652 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1652
Dear Mr. Baumgartner:
The purpose of this letter is to provide the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services
(NCDMS) with all comments generated by the North Carolina Interagency Review Team (NCIRT) during
the 30 -day comment period for the Key Mill Mitigation Plan, which closed on December 15, 2018. Due
to the lapse in federal funding, the dispute resolution period was extended an additional 15 days. These
comments are attached for your review.
Based on our review of these comments, we have determined that no major concerns have been
identified with the Draft Mitigation Plan, which is considered approved with this correspondence.
However, several minor issues were identified, as described in the attached comment memo, which must
be addressed in the Final Mitigation Plan.
The Final Mitigation Plan is to be submitted with the Preconstruction Notification (PCN)
Application for Nationwide permit approval of the project along with a copy of this letter. Issues identified
above must be addressed in the Final Mitigation Plan. All changes made to the Final Mitigation Plan
should be summarized in an errata sheet included at the beginning of the document. If it is determined
that the project does not require a Department of the Army permit, you must still provide a copy of the
Final Mitigation Plan, along with a copy of this letter, to the appropriate USACE field office at least 30
days in advance of beginning construction of the project. Please note that this approval does not preclude
the inclusion of permit conditions in the permit authorization for the project, particularly if issues
mentioned above are not satisfactorily addressed. Additionally, this letter provides initial approval for the
Mitigation Plan, but this does not guarantee that the project will generate the requested amount of
mitigation credit. As you are aware, unforeseen issues may arise during construction or monitoring of the
